Yay, they're up!Saturday: *tries to remember if he's seen Nequii with a pendant before. Especially one that looks vaguely suspiciously slightly amber-like. And is that Sylver he's wishing-well in the distance? It would seem so. (While Fenni and Erinzo are apparently arguing in the background and Viron is - it seems - off in the distance.)*Sunday: nice effect overall. Bottles of dark unicorn blood, I presume the caption means. Fenni & Robin are moving out to -where-?... (and why?- well, something to find out later...) and I hope to hear on Tuesday just what it is that Nequii has <I>to</I> say, though I have a rough clue (maybe tentatively). (Sylver only threatened to let his souls loose, and didn't have a reason to carry out his threat; so I do wish I had a clue how Irooz <I>got</I> loose, still...; a guess on my part about too much magical energy unleashed is only a guess...)-Eric Schissel<P>------------------The stars move stilltime runs,the clock will strike- Marlowe

*snicker* Well, she's Jaqueleen. Partially modelled after the infamous bimbo five in my brother's class, and nobody ever blamed <I>them</I> of anything remotely resembling tact.<P>'Rose is likely to be painfully civil, and act as if he were back in his old profession (ie sleeping fully dressed and with a dagger under his pillow, wariness incarnate), if anything. "Oh, but <I>Lady</I> Jaqueleen, surely you shouldn't...". *giggle* He's good at that.<P>Officially 'tis Rel that does it. In practise, he gets his brother to do it for him, which just about everyone knows.<P>Seeing as Viron thinks the same things as rest of Haven (that may or may not be true), that there's something more than friendship between 'Rose and his nephew, I don't think he'd suspect Erinzo for trying to get 'Rose out on the Border early, rather the opposite, if anything. <P>And 'Rose takes a fair deal more Guard shifts than he's scheduled to, simply showing up and telling the person out to go in.<P>It's something I'm trying to steal from the Pini's (of ElfQuest, best comic I've ever read, even as I don't have all of them) is how characters act on motivation rather than on being 'good' or 'bad'. Well except for Dark Unicorns and similar, but their personality is based on <I>evil</I>, so they're still sorta acting on motivation.<P><P>------------------<A HREF="http://www.livejournal.com/users/quoting_mungo/" TARGET=_blank>Alexandra</A>-------------------------"It's like picking a lock."<P>...<P>"Oh, right.
